A tactic I've tested is what I'm nicknaming the Judas Goat

Find a group of hate users, report 80%+ of them and wait to see who the leftovers friend in the next few days/weeks and repeat

This way once you have identified the group you don't need to learn their codes
The reason I call it the Judas Goat is from this tactic to clear the Galapagos of invasive goats

nature.com/articles/news.…
If you rotate which users get the boot or decided to keep a few users the same from each ban wave you also lead to possible splintering or infighting as they try to find the Judas in the group

It is an easy way to create friction in the process of creating new accounts
After enough friction a certain percentage will give up and either move on or go to another platform

With other tools looking for VPN/IP, fingerprints, etc... you can increase the friction on them while causing limited harm to the rest of the platform

On Saturday the 5th the New York Post put up an exclusive article about a few parents groups that planned to pay for a billboard truck to protest Critical Race Theory being taught in NYC prep schools
@soft_fox_lad noticed some suspicious information about the largest of the groups, Prep School Accountability, and shared it with me
The website for PSA was built on Wordpress, a content management system, which automatically creates pages for each author of the site. It's simple to find by just adding /?author=# to the end of the home url:

Most modern search engines, rather than searching for exact words, use Natural Language Processing(NLP) and try to figure out similar phrases and words to what you are searching unless you use quotes around your search which means FIND EXACTLY THESE WORDS IN THIS ORDER
It appears Bing is blocking images from searches for "tank man" referencing the famous 1989 Tiananmen Square photo

If you through winred, the GOP fundraising platform, and look at the pages I'd bet 20% of them cite Pelosi, AOC, or the Squad to fundraise against

Doesn't matter if the person is running for state senator in Ohio

The GOP knows the power of building out archetypes and their...
...base's misogyny

The Dems don't seem to understand the power in this, make every GOP official from dog catcher up have to defend being in the party of Greene and Cawthrone and Goser
A Google search of Winred pages for AOC or Pelosi
